Just took a break from my to-do list at home to catch up on your December posts. It was a moment of peace and calm. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteNurture. This is a beautiful and essential word. I hope it is not selfish that I feel the need to nurture myself so I can be a better nurturer of everyone and everything else in my care. I look forward to reading your posts - in particular, starting off with January. And I'm curious about June. Happy New Year!
Thank-you, Darlene. I don't think it s selfish to nurture ourselves at all. Even Jesus stepped away fro the the throngs of people.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great word! I like the way you have planned out the year. It will help keeping you focused. I look forward to following your postings.
ReplyDeleteI like your plans for your word very much. Mine is similar (nourish), but I hadn't thought of having a theme for each month. Looking forward to seeing how your word grows in your life.
